Conservative Values Winning Out In NY-23 Race…Support Rising For Hoffman Fm Local Republican Officials

Saints March to the Super Bowl

I know crazed football fans. After all I lived in Philadelphia for almost two years, where fans would tailgate in sub-zero temperatures in set-ups that looked more like full living rooms than parking spots. Then I moved to Dallas, home of America’s team, as my co-worker Kris Gutierrez likes to remind me. None of this I think will prepare me for New Orleans tonight. We flew in this morning and the gate agent promptly welcomed us to “…the Who Dat Nation.” Inside the airport, we walked into a sea of black and gold… as one last chartered flight of fans was getting ready to takeoff to Miami.

Frances Fox Piven: Glenn Beck Seeks ‘Foreign, Dark-Skinned, Intellectual’ Scapegoats

Throughout much of 2009, Glenn Beck extensively covered the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” that was first brought into the public domain in a May 1966 article in The Nation magazine. In the article, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, two Columbia professors, developed a strategy by which the welfare system could be overwhelmed with demand, broken, and replaced with a “guaranteed annual income.”

Liveblogging Sarah Palin At the Nashville National Tea Party Convention

Sarah gave a great speech to her tea party supporters tonight in Nashville. She offered plenty of red meat mixed in with her common sense free market message. Sarah makes a great spokesman for the movement in that she represents your typical hardworking, patriotic, sincere, God-fearing American that is so often overlooked by the media elites and our “betters” in Washington DC. It was an historic evening and Sarah put on a great show. What a great time.

How to Get Our Democracy Back: If You Want Change, You Have to Change Congress

Yet a year into the presidency of Barack Obama, it is already clear that this administration is an opportunity missed. Not because it is too conservative. Not because it is too liberal. But because it is too conventional. Obama has given up the rhetoric of his early campaign–a campaign that promised to “challenge the broken system in Washington” and to “fundamentally change the way Washington works.” Indeed, “fundamental change” is no longer even a hint. Instead, we are now seeing the consequences of a decision made at the most vulnerable point of Obama’s campaign–just when it seemed that he might really have beaten the party’s presumed nominee. For at that moment, Obama handed the architecture of his new administration over to a team that thought what America needed most was another Bill Clinton. A team chosen by the brother of one of DC’s most powerful lobbyists, and a White House headed by the quintessential DC politician. A team that could envision nothing more than the ordinary politics of Washington–the kind of politics Obama had called “small.” A team whose imagination–politically–is tiny.
